Description

A few people were having a conversation about the "cookie banner" on knative.dev, and we noticed that https://istio.io/ didn't have such a banner. Digging further, it looks like I'm served Google Analytics javascript and reports are collected even in an incognito window with DNT: 1 cookie.

I'm in the US, so maybe this is okay here, but I suspect that our European friends would be surprised by this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Google Analytics implementation on the site, check if it respects DNT headers, and determine if a cookie consent banner is required for EU compliance. Look into adding a cookie consent mechanism or ensuring analytics respects DNT.
